Life-sized versions of the creatures from the film series can also be found at the Studio Tour. Guests can see the beloved Dobby, Buckbeak the Hippogriff with each of his feathers being individually created and hand-glued, the Goblins from the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, and Aragog the Acromantula with a leg span of over 5.5 meters.

Guests can enjoy numerous displays that explain some of the movies' most notable effects, including flying with broomsticks, the famous Knight Bus from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and the Pensieve in Dumbeldore's office, which he used to view memories. In fact, with the help of a greenscreen, visitors themselves can even try flying on a broomstick.

Fans can see some of the movies’ most famous costumes, which were curated by the best costume designers. The facility is home to a variety of Hogwarts school robes; Dumbledore’s outfits, which evolve throughout the movies in tandem with the plot; beautiful formalwear from the Yule Ball; Beaxbatons’ school uniforms; and much more!

Hogwarts Model

The Studio Tour has the recreation of the Hogwarts Castle model built originally by the Art Department for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The model has more than 2,500 fibre optic lights and was created by a team of 86 members. Fans can also see models of the masks worn by Death Eaters and play with an interactive digital mask-creator to find a mask that matches their own personality.

Food and Drink

Enjoy a variety of specially-curated, British-inspired restaurants at the Studio Tour, including The Food Hall and the Frog Cafe, which has a selection of Harry Potter themed sweets and special designs in its Caffe Latte Art Collection. Both areas are available before or after your Studio Tour experience. Located halfway through the Studio Tour is the Backlot Cafe, where visitors can stop for some magic-themed drinks that change color and taste or eat a meal in one of the Hogwarts houses. Of course, the Studio Tour also has Butterbeer available at the world's biggest Butterbeer bar. Visitors can also purchase an experience of Afternoon Tea on the day of the Studio Tour visit, but this option is currently unavailable. Check their website for updates on availability and time slots.

The Studio Tour is located on the former Toshimaen Amusement Park site, which is a two-minute walk from Toshimaen Station on the Toei Oedo Line and the Seibu Ikebukuro Line.

How to Get There

From Ikebukuro Station, hop aboard the Seibu Ikebukuro Line and take the train to Toshimaen Station, about 15 minutes away. The park is about a two-minute walk from the station. Studio Tour Tokyo can also be accessed via the Toei Oedo line to Toshimaen Station – it's only a 20-minute train ride from Shinjuku station and a two-minute walk from Toshimaen station.

Immerse yourself in the wizarding world! The Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo awaits

The Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter details how the producers brought the magic of Harry Potter to life. Far from an amusement park, here fans can go behind the scenes and see the intricate details that went into creating a groundbreaking, globally renowned franchise. Visitors have the opportunity to step onto actual movie sets, examine props and costumes up close and take part in interactive experiences.

Even more – with many different photo ops throughout the attraction, guests donning wizarding robes and clutching wands can take photos looking like they're fresh out of Hogwarts!

Remember, wand-waving and incantations are not allowed in potions class. Photo Credit: Melanie Sweeney

Go behind-the-scenes and see how producers brought the magic to life

Aside from film sets, props and clothing used in the films, visitors can get a close look into the production of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchises. The tour features set dioramas and concept art used to create memorable movie scenes. It also explains how sets were constructed and what materials were used, how the sounds in the movies were produced and the different techniques used to bring magical creatures to life.

Step onto set and become a Harry Potter star

Throughout the tour, there are several interactive experiences for visitors to enjoy. Visitors can step onto a greenscreen and join a crowd of spectators for a Quidditch match, ride a broomstick over London's cityscape, become a moving painting in the Grand Staircase or use Floo Powder to travel to the Ministry of Magic. To take these memorable moments home with them, visitors can conveniently register their email address via a QR code provided at the start of the tour, and scan it before or after they shoot their scene.

Entertainment Inc. – Wizarding World publishing rights © J.K. Rowling.

Indulge in a glass of Butterbeer and other magical delights

At the entrance of the Studio Tour, visitors can treat themselves to a delicious array of themed foods and treats at the Frog Cafe and Food Hall. The Food Hall is designed to resemble the iconic Great Hall of the series – long tables, house tapestries and floating candles – to create a magical atmosphere. Next door, the Frog Cafe offers a unique dining experience where guests can enjoy their meals inside giant chocolate frog boxes used as booths.

A feast fit for wizards and witches awaits. Photo Credit: Derek Makishima

Midway through the tour, visitors can rest their feet and refresh at the Backlot Cafe. It features many Hogwarts House themed meals and treats, magical drinks and even a Professor Umbridge-inspired Afternoon Tea Set. And of course, no Harry Potter experience is complete without Butterbeer, which can be enjoyed nearby at the world's largest Butterbeer Bar.

Save your galleons for Tokyo-exclusive merchandise

There are two shops at Studio Tour Tokyo: the Studio Shop and the Railway Shop. In the Studio Shop – known as the largest Harry Potter shop in the world – guests can browse and buy many different items including robes, wands, character goods, Tokyo-exclusive merchandise and customizable notebooks. The Studio Shop is conveniently located in the lobby, so visitors can make their purchase before or after their tour. The Railway Shop is found midway through the tour, near the Hogwarts Express on Platform 9 3/4, and also offers a number of exclusive items.

Planning your visit to Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo

Travelers interested in this enchanting Harry Potter experience can purchase tickets online at the official Studio Tour Tokyo website. Reservations can be made several months in advance, but keep in mind that once you've booked your ticket, the date and time cannot be changed. Please also note that tickets cannot be purchased at the venue itself.

To ensure a comfortable experience, it's recommended that visitors wear suitable shoes, as the Studio Tour covers an expansive area equivalent to 90,000 square meters. While the tour typically takes about three to four hours, if you prefer to take your time and fully enjoy the experience, consider reserving an earlier time slot to make the most of your visit and explore at a leisurely pace.

The Making of Harry Potter - Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo

The 1rst hogwarts park in asia.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter is the largest indoor theme park dedicated to the saga, inaugurated in June 16, 2023, and located in Nerima in the north-west of Tokyo. It offers a dive into the magic of the Harry Potter movies with behind-the-scene secrets, life-size decors and authentic costumes worn by the actors, all in the same place for the fans of the famous British wizard.

A first Harry Potter theme park 🎡 opened in London in 2012 and it is now Tokyo ’s turn to have its own Wizarding World, since June 16, 2023. The venue is set on the former Toshimaen theme park in Nerima , a quiet residential neighborhood to the north-west of the capital’s center, and its official name is "Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter" in English. It took 3 years to build the 30,000m² and arrange the site to the colors of Hogwarts, the famous sorcery school and it can boast:

Being the world's largest indoor Harry Potter-themed park ; and,
The 1rst Warner Studios in Asia .

In the same fashion as the Ghibli Park inaugurated in November 2022 near Nagoya , these cinema studios do not have thrilling rides but offer a beautiful and interesting immersion in the universes of the Harry Potter and the Fantastic Beasts movies , all written by J. K. Rowling and produced by Warner Bros. in the United States. The course is identical to London studios’ with additional decors and new interactive installations.

The Making of Harry Potter - Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, Portrait gallery

Most of the tour is set indoors , with a small outdoor section in the middle of the course. Therefore, weather conditions have few impact on the visit and we recommend this visit on hot weather or rainy ☔️ days. Note that advance online booking is required. The day and hour of the tour can be selected upon availability, and the biggest Harry Potter fans may consider arriving early in the morning to make the most of their day at the park. The whole tour requires about 4 hours . Ticket reservation is available a few months in advance and can therefore be made when planning the trip.

Admission fees are moderate for a theme park in Japan , and are even less expensive than their London counterpart. The Yen 💴 ’s exchange rate in 2023 is indeed very advantageous to western tourists.

There, Toshimaen, the closest station , as well as the surroundings of the park are decorated with sculptures and nods to movies and the 3 main actors. We recommend arriving earlier than the hour set to enter the premisses so as to enjoy the atmosphere building up while approaching the Studios. Note that Nerima ward is relatively off Tokyo center and that the transportation time is also to be included in the timing of the visit.

Once inside, the movies’ original soundtracks , especially of the first 3 movies composed by John Williams, are played throughout the visit. Just before entering the studios, you’ll find a food hall and a souvenir shop selling: costumes to don for the occasion like the uniforms of the 4 houses of the school, and magic wands in a large array of choice. Now you are ready to explore the behind-the-scenes of Harry Potter movies.

The Making of Harry Potter - Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, Slytherin House common room

Wanderings in the movies’ decors

After a first 15 minutes movie in English, visitors enter the studios through the fantastic Great Hall providing an instant immersion into Hogwarts’ universe. Several themed-spaces follow, regarding the making off special effects, the soundtrack, the animation of non-human characters, in short everything about the creation of the movies’ magic .

Iconic places are reconstituted in full scale on several shooting sets, and populated by mannequins dressed in the movies’ costumes and looking like the actors, such as:

The common rooms of the Gryffindor and Slytherin houses;
Professor Dumbledore’s office ;
Ancient books rows in the library ;
A path of the Forbidden Forest ;
The Dursley House at the 4 Privet Drive , with Harry’s bed in the closet under the stair (the only floor accessible is the ground floor);
Several vehicles such as the purple Knight Bus;
Platform 9 ¾ with the Hogwarts Express; and,
The Ministry of Magic .

Pictures are allowed and one can even touch part of the decors to recreate a striking scene of the movie series.

In the same manner as the impressive Great Hall entrance, the visit ends on a high note at Diagon Alley , wandering in the streets of a fantasy retro London. One can’t help but wish being able to *magically* come in one of the shops.

The Making of Harry Potter - Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, 4 Privet Drive and vehicle

Bonus interactive installations

Fans of the Harry Potter saga will be delighted to take part in activities allowing them to become for a moment a protagonist in one of the movies scenes . At Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, there are 3 interactive installations to try during the visit, where you can:

Take the place of one of the living portraits hanged in the gallery with the moving stairway;
Attend a Quidditch match and support your favorite team; and,
Fly in the air like a real-life wizard on a magic broom.

There will certainly be a waiting line for these popular activities, after which you can download a short edited movie featuring yourself, that make a nice customized souvenir.

The various spaces are lit up in such ways that one feels like a day is passing, as if moving through the indoor studios in a filmed story, starting on the daytime and ending at night .

Themed cafes and shops within the studios

As for food, the studios are not outdone and various themed cafes can be found along the way, with sweet or savory dishes, and typical food that Harry and his comrades would eat . However, without much surprise, the look of the food is better than its taste and prices can sometimes be quite expensive.

If we had only one choice, we would take again in a heartbeat the delicious Butterbeer at the Butterbeer Bar in the outdoor part of the park. The drink served here is non-alcoholic, made with sugary soda. The plastic cup can be brought back home thanks to an area at the exit of the cafe to wash and wrap it.

Several souvenir shops are spread throughout the park, with a large array of official merch from tiny gadgets to luxury items such as purses. Thanks to the Japanese savoir faire a kawaii set of goods is also available, featuring Harry Potter like an anime character.

The Making of Harry Potter - Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, Butterbear and popcorn

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter ‘s inauguration was much-awaited and is really worth the detour to Tokyo’s north-western periphery. Early days fans should not be disappointed and the others can just watch the 1rst movie to be able to get most of the references. The whole exhibition is displayed in English , as per the original story of Harry Potter, and in Japanese.

Touring the studios is pleasant despite the crowd , thanks to visitors caps on each hours slot. During our visit, we mainly saw adults and a few families with children .

Layout and Sets of the Warner Bros. Studio Tokyo Tour

As I entered the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, I immediately realized the attention to detail and authenticity put into the layout and sets of this magical experience.

From the iconic sets like the Great Hall and Diagon Alley to lesser known corners of the wizarding world, it felt like I had been transported into the world of Hogwarts.

The Great Hall was stunning, capturing its immense size and enchanting atmosphere. The long, wooden tables were adorned with magical floating candles and cutlery.

Walking down the hall, I could feel the magic and grandeur that once welcomed Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Next, I ventured into Diagon Alley, the main street of the magical world. From the towering shelves of Flourish & Blotts bookstore to Ollivander’s Wand Shop, each store was designed in intricate detail.

The cobblestone path led me to Gringotts Wizarding Bank, with its intimidating marble columns and golden doors.

As I continued my journey, I found myself in the Forbidden Forest, with its eerie, realistic atmosphere.

There, I encountered towering trees, mythical creatures, and that same sense of adventure as experienced by the famous trio.

I then discovered the backlot, which showcased the larger set pieces, such as the Hogwarts bridge and Hagrid’s hut, where fans could pose for photos and imagine life at the magical school.

Next up was the Hogwarts Castle, which stood tall and majestic, just as I imagined it would.

Winding corridors and secret passageways led me to some of the iconic classrooms and common rooms, with portraits of famous witches and wizards adorning the walls.

One of the most memorable sets I visited was Dumbledore’s office. The room was filled with mystical artifacts, books, and even his pet phoenix, Fawkes, perched proudly upon its stand.

The subtle, intimate details of the room gave me a true sense of the wisdom and power held by the Hogwarts headmaster.

Platform 9 ¾, complete with the famous Hogwarts Express, was another highlight. The train was precisely recreated, from the luggage racks to the vivid red exterior. I could almost hear the whistle blow as I stepped on board, envisioning myself journeying from London to Hogwarts.

Lastly, I explored the impressive set of the Ministry of Magic. The grand architecture and elaborate details transported me to the heart of the wizarding government, making me feel like I was in an episode of Harry Potter.

The layout and sets of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo are thoughtfully designed and highly immersive. The tour allows fans to step into the world of Hogwarts and explore the magical universe that has captivated millions for years.

Cinematic Magic Warner Bros Studio Tokyo

Visiting Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, I was amazed by the incredible demonstrations of special effects and visual effects.

As I ventured further into the tour, I marveled at the life-sized models and intricate details that went into making some of the most magical creatures from the Fantastic Beasts universe come alive.

These beautiful models showcased the skill and artistry of the team working behind the scenes.

I also had the opportunity to see firsthand the techniques used in creating the immersive on-screen worlds, as the tour offered a peek into the behind-the-scenes process.

From set design to post-production, it was fascinating to see the amount of work and collaboration that goes into bringing these stories to life.

For fans of Harry Potter, there is the Harry Potter shop, and it truly feels like stepping into the Wizarding World.

In the Harry Potter store, I was especially excited to see items that I had only previously encountered in the books or movies.

Flourish and Blotts caught my attention with its unique collection of Wizarding World literature, some even written by Rowling herself. The shop features prop replicas, collectibles, and beautiful stationary items, making it the perfect place to pick up a souvenir for any Harry Potter fan.

Apart from that, Honeydukes is another major highlight of the shopping experience. The entire store is designed with a whimsical aesthetic, reminiscent of the candy shop from the books.

Brimming with delightful confectioneries like Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans, Honeydukes allows visitors to indulge in the sweet treats that were once only part of the fictional world.

The gift shop also offers a variety of merchandise such as clothing items, accessories, and even home décor.

I appreciated the attention to detail and the wide array of products that catered to different preferences.

Additionally, the souvenir guidebook is a fantastic keepsake, as it beautifully encapsulates the tour experience.

Throughout my shopping adventure at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, I found the stores to be a well-crafted extension of the attractions themselves.

The immersive environment combined with the incredible variety of exclusive products made for an unforgettable experience.

At the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, I found a variety of food and dining options to enjoy throughout my visit.

One of the highlights was definitely the Butterbeer, a creamy and delicious non-alcoholic beverage. It’s perfect for a refreshing break during the tour.

In addition to Butterbeer, I came across several cafes and restaurants offering a selection of British fare.

A visit to the Chocolate Frog Café is a must for any Harry Potter fan. As the name suggests, they offer the famous Chocolate Frogs among other wizarding treats. I loved the magical atmosphere and the theming of the café.

There are also multiple dining options when it comes to British food. From casual cafes to sit-down restaurants, I had no difficulty finding something that suited my taste and budget.

Many of these establishments offer popular British dishes like fish and chips, Shepherd’s pie, and hearty sandwiches. It was nice to be able to try a variety of British cuisine while on the tour.

Interactive Experiences at Warner Bros. Studio Tokyo

As I stepped into the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, I immediately felt the magical atmosphere of the Wizarding World.

The entire place is filled with incredible interactive experiences that made my visit truly unforgettable.

I got the chance to practice my wizarding skills, learning how to cast spells using a wand. The interactive experience is designed with motion sensors, so when I swished and flicked my wand, I could see the spells come to life right before my eyes.

It’s perfect for both witches and wizards of any age, making you feel like a true part of the magical universe.

One of the highlights of my visit was the Quidditch game. I was so excited to try out this beloved wizarding sport! I mounted a broom and felt the sensation of flying while wearing a pair of special VR goggles.

Upon entering the area, I was greeted by the iconic Knight Bus and the Hogwarts Express.

Boarding the Hogwarts Express, I could hear the steamy huffs and the whistle, making me feel like I was really traveling through the Wizarding World.

The tour showcases the four Hogwarts houses, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw.

Review of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo

I recently visited the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, and I would like to share my thoughts on the experience. The atmosphere of the tour is immersive, making visitors feel like they have stepped into their favorite Warner Bros. films and shows.

There are various sets and interactive exhibits that allow fans to gain an in-depth understanding of the behind-the-scenes magic.

The lines for popular attractions can be quite long, but they do move steadily. To make the most of my time, I arrived early and prioritized the attractions I wanted to see the most.

It is also a great idea to make use of the tour’s Fast Track option if it is available, which can be purchased in advance to help bypass any lengthy queues.

One thing I appreciated about my visit was the opportunity to receive helpful tips from the knowledgeable staff at various points throughout the tour.

They were enthusiastic and eager to provide insights into the filmmaking process, helping me to fully appreciate the work that goes into creating the beloved movies and shows.

In terms of refreshments, there are dining options scattered throughout the tour, offering a variety of dishes catering to different preferences. I found the prices to be reasonable and the quality of the food was satisfactory.

The tour offers a range of options for visitors of all ages, making it a worthwhile experience for both families and hardcore fans.

I personally found that the unique, interactive features allowed me to gain a deeper appreciation for my favorite productions.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Comparison: London vs Tokyo

I recently had the opportunity to visit both the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London and the new Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo.

As a fan of the Harry Potter and DC Comics franchises, I was excited to compare the two experiences and see which one is worth the visit.

In my experience, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is a must-visit for all Harry Potter fans. It offers an extensive look at the making of the films with real sets, costumes, and props used during production.

Some highlights include the Hogwarts Express, the Great Hall, and Diagon Alley. In addition, you can try butterbeer and enter the Forbidden Forest. The focus of this studio tour is solely on the world of Harry Potter.

In contrast, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo feels more like a broader amusement park. It showcases several popular Warner Bros. productions, including Harry Potter, DC Comics, and other famous film franchises.

While the Tokyo tour still offers Harry Potter attractions such as the Hogwarts Castle and Diagon Alley, the experience is less immersive compared to the London tour. However, it makes up for it with its variety.

London Studio Tour:

Exclusive focus on Harry Potter
Real sets, costumes, and props
Interactive experiences like butterbeer tasting and the Forbidden Forest

Tokyo Studio Tour:

Features multiple Warner Bros. productions
Blends of Harry Potter, DC Comics, and other film franchises
More of an amusement park experience

In terms of location, the London Studio Tour is situated just outside of the city, while the Tokyo Studio Tour is part of the larger Toshimaen amusement complex in Nerima, Tokyo. Depending on where you’re visiting from, the ease of access to the tours may vary.

Regarding ticket prices, both the London and Tokyo tours are similarly priced, ranging between $60 to $80 per adult depending on the available discounts and time of visit.

For a more in-depth experience specific to Harry Potter, the London Studio Tour is definitely a better value.

So, is the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo worth it? If you’re a fan of multiple Warner Bros. properties and travelling to Asia, then the Tokyo tour offers an enjoyable experience, but for a die-hard Harry Potter fan, the London Studio Tour has a more comprehensive and immersive experience that is well worth the trip.

Final Thoughts

Visiting the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo was an enlightening experience for me. The tour provided a captivating glimpse into the world of film and television production.

As a fan of movies and TV series, especially those produced by Warner Bros., I found the various sets, exhibits, and activities to be truly fascinating.

The level of detail and the effort put into recreating some of the most iconic scenes from popular titles was remarkable.

For instance, walking through the streets of Gotham City or exploring sets from the Harry Potter series truly felt like stepping into those magical worlds.

Additionally, the studio offered opportunities to learn about different aspects of filmmaking, from costume design to sound and special effects.

This helped me appreciate the incredible amount of work and dedication that goes into bringing these stories to life.

In terms of the overall value, I found the Studio Tour to be reasonably priced considering the variety and duration of activities offered.

However, it is important to bear in mind that your personal interests will significantly impact your experience.

If you are a fan of Warner Bros. productions, you will likely get more enjoyment and value from the tour.

Lastly, the accessibility and organization of the tour were commendable. The staff was both helpful and knowledgeable, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all visitors.

All things considered, I believe the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo is a unique and engaging way to explore the magic of movie-making.

My writing focuses on the various aspects of Japanese lifestyle, from traditional tea ceremonies and flower arrangement to modern fashion trends and pop culture. Through my articles, I aim to share my passion for Japan and provide readers with a glimpse into the rich and diverse world of Japanese culture.

I believe that the key to understanding Japanese lifestyle is to appreciate the balance between tradition and innovation. While Japan has a rich cultural heritage that dates back centuries, it is also a country that is constantly evolving and embracing new ideas and technologies.

Whether you’re interested in learning about the latest fashion trends in Tokyo, or want to explore the ancient art of calligraphy, my writing will take you on a journey through the many facets of Japanese lifestyle. So join me as we explore the beauty and complexity of this fascinating culture together!

Movie lovers, a new TCM Classic Films Tour is rolling at the Warner Bros. Studio backlot

Call it a fresh way to time travel: the lot look-around will include deep peeks at the golden age of hollywood., by alysia gray painter • published april 19, 2024 • updated on april 19, 2024 at 5:13 pm, what to know.

TCM Classic Films Tour at Warner Bros. Studio
The new tour celebrates the 30th anniversary of Turner Classic Movies with lot stops spotlighting treasures of Hollywood's Golden Age
Tickets start at $95; find yours on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood site

Time travel machines, at least in the movies, often boast blinking knobs and glowing wheels and the truth is this: You're never sure where they'll take you, once they're off and flying.

But what if you could board an open-air vehicle that also services as a time-traveling device, the sort of airy auto that takes you to stops and spots where some of Tinseltown's titans once worked, created, dreamed, and occasionally lived?

Such a wondrous mode of transportation exists, and you won't need to pass through a silver screen to reach it: It's located at Warner Bros. Studio, where the brand-new TCM Classic Films Tour is now on the movie-loving move.

Get Southern California news, weather forecasts and entertainment stories to your inbox. Sign up for NBC LA newsletters.

The tour was unveiled just ahead of the TCM Classic Film Festival , which is shimmering in Hollywood through April 21.

Launched to honor the 30th anniversary of Turner Classic Movies, the tour is putting "a focus on the studio's early days, delving into the timeless allure of classic cinema and feeling the magic of Hollywood’s rich history firsthand."

Television will also receive its due, as well as the many films that famously found their first footing at the Burbank studio.

The Eastwood Scoring Stage, which will celebrate its centennial in just five years, is on the tour, as is a look at the exterior of an apartment that James Dean once lived in, a nearby abode he could retreat to while putting in the hours on a film shoot.

‘Crime and Justice' is the theme for TCM's Classic Film Festival; get passes now

Street Food Cinema's new season is in the pink with a colorful ‘Barbie' kick-off

And a rose garden isn't just about the flowers but also love, in the tennis sense: A court once stood there, and none other than Jack Warner, one of the studio's founders, enjoyed some time at the net.

The Property House — the name reveals the structure's purpose — will also be visited, and prop mavens will get to check out artifacts seen in some of the cinema and television's best-known works.

"For 100 years, Warner Bros. has stood for the very best in moviemaking and TCM has continued to spotlight the legacy of the studio with incredible program offerings throughout its 30 years," shared Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy.

"We are thrilled movie lovers from around the world can visit the iconic Burbank lot to experience the TCM Classic Films Tour and celebrate the rich history of the studio's contributions to cinema."

The tour begins with a welcome video from the TCM hosts; look also for historical snapshots, iconic costumes — including outfits seen in "The Music Man," a beloved musical that is synonymous with the lot's charming Midwest Street — and other treats for those who regularly revisit some of the starriest cinematic offerings of the past.

Tickets start at $95 and are available on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour site.

Warner Bros. Discovery to Expand Anime Production in Japan: ‘The Genre Is Increasing Reach and Relevance Globally’ (EXCLUSIVE)

By Patrick Frater

Indonesia’s Visinema Launches Film-to-Stage Adaptation ‘Keluarga Cemara: The Musical’ 3 days ago
Tran Anh Hung Set as Shanghai Film Festival Jury Chief – Global Bulletin 3 days ago

Warner Bros. Discovery is to significantly expand its investment and production of Japanese anime through its existing local studio in Japan.

“We have a Japanese anime studio, which has been producing five or ten anime series per year, over the last few years,” said James Gibbons, WBD president of Asia-Pacific. “We’ve approved expansion to take that to more than ten series per year.”

Popular on Variety

Both “JoJo’s” and “Record of Ragnarok” are currently on Netflix and have ranked strongly, featuring in the streamer’s global weekly top ten.

“There is Japanese anime that comes from original IP. But there’s also anime that comes from elsewhere. And we’ve looked at our DC universe and said, ‘Can we take these characters and reinvent them in world of world of anime,’ which is not straightforward because you have to do it the right way. You have to work with the right studios to make it happen and to build your fan base,” said Gibbons.

The story sees Amanda Waller, the head of A.R.G.U.S., assemble a group of notorious DC criminals Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface and King Shark for a mission into an otherworldly realm full of swords and magic and where orcs rampage and dragons rule the skies.

“We see strong growth for the genre, increasing reach and relevance not only for Asian audiences but globally,” said a WBD spokesman.

Gibbons said that the group is also keen to play a part in other content categories in Asia. Aside from anime, its priorities include Japanese scripted “to some extent,” Korean drama series and Chinese-language content.

The executive explained that Korean series are a known quantity with “very well-defined pricing” for the rights. “[Korean content is a very important category, a really important part of streaming in APAC and, increasingly, around the world [..] but it is a mature market. So, the way that we access that will be different compared to, for example, Chinese content, which is a much newer category. [Chinese shows account for] a smaller percentage of consumption in APAC right now. But it certain markets it is growing pretty fast.”

The conglomerate has plans to finally bring its Max streaming product into East Asia, where a stopgap HBO Go service continues to operate. Gibbons says that Max will provide content and operational improvements.

“For Southeast Asia, we will be launching with a much broader content proposition. Even though we have HBO Go now doesn’t mean we’ve made the entire library available. So, first, there’ll be much deeper access to what we already have. In addition, the entire factual side of the business will come online. That’s not there at all [on HBO Go]. We’ll also expand the kids part of it. And in addition, we’re going to take a strategic, defined approach on the Asian content side,” said Gibbons. “So, when you add all that together, plus a dramatically improved tech stack, I think that we’ll have a brand new service.”

Speaking this week at Series Mania in France, WBD’s JB Perette this week announced that Max will launch in 20 European countries on May 21 , in time for the Summer Olympic Games.

Warner Bros. Hollywood Debuts Historical TCM Classic Films Studio Tour

Stung by criticism, Warner Bros. launches a new tour of its Burbank studios that pays homage to the glory days of Hollywood. How different is the TCM Classic Films Tour from the existing studio tour?

By Jason Cochran

April 17, 2024

One of the frustrations of paying a pilgrimage to Hollywood's movie studio tours is the creeping dominance of corporate marketing in the retelling of American cultural history.

As corporations tighten their grip on Hollywood's most historic film production lots, tours become less about the heritage and craftsmanship that made the studios great and more about franchises and souvenirs—Batman in the 1990s, Spider-Man a decade ago, Harry Potter today. But not everyone goes to Hollywood to see sets from Pretty Little Liars or Friends . Many of us also want to see the stomping grounds of James Dean, James Cagney, and Bette Davis.

Fortunately, recent scuffles in the executive suites at Warner Bros. have, surprisingly, resulted in a newfound appreciation of the past—and it's deepening the scope of one of the company's studio tours.

On April 16, Warner Bros. christened a new variety of its studio tour that's not about superheroes, but, rather, the great pictures and stars from Hollywood's Golden Age.

The new TCM Classic Films Tour at Warner Bros. was born out of a near-death experience for the channel it's named for.

In 2023, the corporate masters of the popular Turner Classic Movies channel, which has garnered a cult following of viewers and vacationers , began gutting the channel's staff. The move whipped up such a backlash that some of America's biggest filmmaking giants, including directors Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Paul Thomas Anderson, united to scold the leaders of Warner Bros. Discovery and to protect one of the few mainstream outlets for classic film.

Almost a year later, timed for the same week as TCM's film festival , which draws thousands of fans to Los Angeles each year, Warner Bros. has launched a special studio tour devoted specially to film heritage.

Many features of the new tour, which takes about three and a half hours, aren't different from the regular studio tour , which will remain available.

The latter "includes a visit to Stage 48: Script to Screen , an interactive sound stage highlighting different steps of film production and iconic sets, including the Central Perk Set from Friends and Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment from The Big Bang Theory . The tour’s grand finale is Action and Magic Made Here , showcasing the DC Universe and Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series. The tour concludes with A Celebration of Warner Bros. , showcasing awards and original props and costumes from classic titles including Casablanca , The Music Man , and My Fair Lady ."

The difference in the TCM-branded tour lies in the 90 minutes spent scooting around the lot in small-group motorized carts painted in a distinct TCM livery. On the new tour, most of the references and filming locations hark back to movies made when stars were stars.

All Warner Bros. studio tours, even the non-TCM ones, begin with your assigned guide/driver asking your group what movies and stars you're most keen to learn about so that each tour can be somewhat tailored to the interests of the group. But on the TCM tours, guides have truly been trained in the history of the studio system's heyday, and little time is wasted with filler on more recent productions unless tourgoers ask.

In addition to the guides' specialized knowledge, the tour features a few taped introductions by TCM's onscreen hosts.

The TCM tours also add a few stops and sights that the standard tours don't include, such as "the exterior of James Dean’s apartment where he resided while working on the lot; the serene rose garden, which in the early years was Jack Warner’s tennis court and was surrounded by talent dressing rooms; and the Eastwood Scoring Stage built in 1929 where countless titles have been scored."

Frommer's was not taken to any of those spots on the tour preview that was offered to the press. Studio tour staff warn guests that not every location is available on every tour departure.

As on the regular tour, TCM's version visits the Property House (pictured below), where guides point out artifacts used in classic films from the '30s to the '60s.

The new tour isn't a radical departure from the standard offering. More than anything, the TCM Classic Films Tour seems like a simple way to make sure fans of Hollywood's heyday are paired with the studio guides most equipped to inform them, giving guides permission to delve into the all-time greats rather than hawk the latest blockbuster.

In an era when the accountants at Warner Bros. are literally destroying finished films just to log tax write-offs, simply nurturing a little historical respect can feel like a daring act—and movie fans are lucky to find it.

The TCM Classic Films Tour at Warner Bros. Studios Hollywood is available most days from 8:30am to 3:30pm. Tickets are $95 for adults, $82 for children ages 5–10. Book tours in advance at wbstudiotour.com .

«Retour à Azkaban», une expérience incontournable pour les fans d’Harry Potter à Londres

Lire dans l’app
Copier le lien Lien copié

Sorti en 2004, on redécouvre le troisième film de la saga Harry Potter à travers des décors et objets inédits exposés jusqu’en septembre aux studios Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.

Situé à 30 kilomètres au nord de Londres , à Watford en Angleterre , les studios Warner Bros. d'Harry Potter présentent depuis 2012 les coulisses des films de la saga (vrais décors, accessoires, costumes et secrets de tournages). Cette année, à l’occasion du vingtième anniversaire de « Harry Potter et le Prisonnier d'Azkaban» d’autres surprises attendent les visiteurs qui s’apprêtent à arpenter Poudlard et le mythique Chemin de Traverse.

Premier arrêt très studieux : la visite de la classe de divination du professeur Sibylle Trelawney, incarnée par Emma Thompson à l’écran. Cet endroit apparaît pour la première fois de la saga dans ce troisième opus et y incarne un rôle majeur. Inspiré des salons de thés traditionnels de l’ Inde et du Moyen-Orient , la pièce a été drapée d'un riche tissu rouge, avec poufs en velours, tapis et lanternes de style oriental... Aussi excentrique que Mme Trelawney.

Fidèle au film, la salle expose plusieurs tasses de thé, dont celle utilisée par Harry, fabriquée au Japon au XIXe siècle. On retrouve aussi l’impressionnante tour constituée de plus de 500 tasses de thés et soucoupes anciennes et construite sur... 28 étages !

Un tour de Magicobus ?

Autre nouveauté à voir absolument : une section consacrée à la matière «Défense contre les Forces du Mal» enseignée par le professeur Remus Lupin. On parcourt sa salle de classe, imaginée à partir d’objets archéologiques et décorées de crânes, de créatures mises sous cloche, ainsi que de l'armoire de l'épouvantard de style Art Nouveau vue dans le film . L’expérience est totale puisque les visiteurs peuvent aussi s'essayer au sortilège Riddikulus.

Puis, il est également possible de voir la chambre d’Harry, au Chaudron Baveur, avec les meubles originels du film et un Livre des Monstres. L’opportunité de contempler le véritable lit Tudor utilisé dans le film. Loué à l'époque à une entreprise de meubles, les décorateurs l’ont rapporté aux studios Londres pour l'occasion. Pour finir l’aventure en immersion, quoi de mieux qu’une balade à l'intérieur du Magicobus ? Les décors s'agitent, les lustres se balancent et les lits bougent, à l’image du voyage d’Harry Potter vers le Chaudron Baveur.

Autant d’expériences pour plonger dans l’univers magique de J.K. Rowling !

Infos pratiques : du 1er mai au 4 septembre 2024, au Warner Bros. Studio Tour, Wartford. Tous les jours : Premier départ de Londres Victoria à 7h30 pour une entrée à 9h. Dernière entrée à 18 heures pour une arrivée à 12h à Londres Victoria. L’expérience “Retour à Azkaban” inclus dans le prix du billet standard (à partir de 70,80 € pour les jeunes enfants, 126 € pour les adultes).

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

Every day each car in Moscow metro passes more than 600 km, which is the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

Oscar Best Picture Winner ‘Oppenheimer’ Is No. 5 In Deadline’s 2023 Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament

'Monkey Man' Star Sobhita Dhulipala On Being "Accountable" As An Actor & How Dev Patel's Directorial Debut Changed Her Life

Oppenheimer Universal

Following Warner Bros’ Covid release of Tenet and the studio’s then-aggressive pivot to a theatrical day-and-date distribution model on Max, Christopher Nolan shopped his next project, the World War II-set Oppenheimer , to rival studios. Universal snapped at the opportunity to take on the $100 million production., thought on paper it was a risky bet to get behind a three-hour, dialogue-heavy biopic about a nuclear physicist. No one, not even the studio, saw the pic’s near-$1 billion global gross coming.

THE BOX SCORE

The bottom line.

Participations here are at $175M and that includes everyone: Nolan, wife/producer Emma Thomas, producer Charles Roven, Cillian Murphy (who landed a Best Actor Oscar win), Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr (who grabbed his first Oscar win here for Best Supporting Actor), Matt Damon, etc. Their back-end deals were largely figured at cash break zero with some other fees. I’m told that the reports of Nolan walking away with $100M are widely exaggerated, with his take somewhere lower than that. The $170M streaming revenue includes what Uni paid itself to stream on Peacock, and it gave Oppenheimer a seven-month theatrical window to Peacock, where the pic became the most watched movie on the OTT service in its first weekend. The digital/DVD window was November 21, four months after the pic’s theatrical date. Net here is $201.9M. Wait till you see what film is in fourth place in our Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament — it’s a shocker.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Margot Robbie Simon Kinberg Olivia Wilde Rob Liefeld

Avengelyne may be flying to Warner Bros., with the studio in early talks to acquire the comic book package that hit earlier this month.

Don’t Worry Darling filmmaker Olivia Wilde is attached to direct the feature, with Barbie team Margot Robbie , Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara of LuckyChap producing. The banner has a first-look deal with Warners, which made the studio the first stop for the package, which has added screenwriter Tony McNamara to the mix. Longtime X-Men producer Simon Kinberg is also producing.

It’s one of several Liefeld creations that have garnered interest from Hollywood, among them Prophet , which once had Extraction filmmaker Sam Hargrave and star Jake Gyllenhaal attached, though the duo are no longer involved.

The package is the latest high-profile project Warners had acquired in recent months. It currently is shooting Ryan Coogler’s next movie , which the studio won in a bidding war earlier this year.
